Noise ordinance in the county, barking dogs, etc. ... eat up the police resources for this? Absurd! I can see this in the populated city, but out in the county?

No disrespect to Austin Trout, but Trout defended the championship title. Las Cruces High School just won the NM state 5A championship title. The parade this Friday should be for both Trout and the LCHS football team.

It would be great if Comcast would televise this Saturday's New Mexico State vs.UNM basketball game being played in Albuquerque at the Pit. I am sure that there are many fans who would appreciate it.

By his own admission, McKinley Boston says the football program has been broken for 50 years. A simple solution. Don't fix it.

If Boston does not fire Walker, then the president of the university or the Board of Regents, whoever, should fire both of them. This is not acceptable. How can you justify 10 wins and 40 losses?

I would like to see Senator Bingaman's office inquire as to what is going on with the senior citizen's programs in Las Cruces being cut down quite a bit. Is federal money being used properly?

There has been some inflexible opposition from a few ranchers to the proposed Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks National Monument in that it will hurt their business. However, an old 1983 report clearly showed that, "There would be no impacts to livestock grazing" from wilderness designation.

It's time for another underpass on Taylor and out toward Del Ray Boulevard here in Dona Ana.

Someone do something about the traffic.

I travel every day on Del Ray and turn left onto Bataan Memorial West. Please make the signs better so that people know that there are two turning lanes there. Every single day someone almost hits me because they cross from the left lane to the right lane during their turn.

On Saturday 12/8, the Albuquerque Journal ran an article that our state driver's licenses will still be good and are going to be good in the future. So don't let our governor and the Republicans tell you differently.

A caller said he would cut back on tips for the working poor if he has to pay more taxes on his unearned money called dividends. The majority of Americans can't invest to have any dividends. It's just another example of love of money over humanity.

The young fail to realize that dividends are something you have saved for, put away for and now you're getting in your retirement. And now they're going to charge more tax on your dividends? The person that called in is exactly right. I will cut my donations, I will cut my tips, I will not do spending.

In 12/11 "Their View," lobbyist Carla Sonntag tells us we should all go further into debt to protect the unearned revenue stream of the rich, or else we will all suffer "adverse consequences." So, how is this not a ransom note?

Several callers today gave examples of Representative Pearce's lies. Too bad they didn't call more before the election.

I'm about fed up with these unions. First the dock workers in California, who make "only" $160,000 a year, are on strike. Now at least 26,000 children missed a day of school in Michigan because their teachers called in sick or took a vacation day to protest the right-to-work legislation.

The bill that they trying to pass in Michigan is not a right to work law. It is a union busting law.

Here we go again with the government paying themselves, Freddy and Fanny. Both of them are taxpayer supported and giving huge bonuses to people that work there even if they failed what they were supposed to be doing.
